Sudandra Ratnasamy, MBA '10 - Florida

There's a great reason why Sudandra Ratnasamy's children look up to her. As a manager at Wuesthoff Health System, she knew she wanted a master's degree -she just didn't know where to start. When a neighbor mentioned Columbia College-Patrick Air Force Base's Master of Business Administration program, she was eager to find out more.

She admits to being nervous. "Though I didn't have any accounting background, campus director Mr. Jeff Musgrove was very understanding and eased my anxiety." With her MBA in hand, it didn't take long for Ratnasamy to see the fruits of her labor. Promoted to director of critical care, she now presides over four departments and 120 employees. "I can truly say that my MBA helped me broaden my mind, climb the career ladder and open up so many new opportunities."

Her kids noticed, too. "They told me to write my autobiography!" she laughs. "I can truly say that America has given me every opportunity to live the American Dream."
